So, I have been cutting since about mid way through March, I am going to continue till I am around 216-217. I was sitting around 245 and all that extra weight was awesome for my lifts, but performance wise and physique wise, it wasn’t. I am sitting around 225 right now. For some reason I still cannot see my abs, which isn’t a huge deal but I couldn’t even see them when I was below 200 and I am 6’6". I have a weird body type or something. Anyways, once I get to that desired weight I will then start working on strength again. I have lost a decent amount while cutting, which is expected.

So new lifts are-
OHP-110
Squat- 235
Deadlift-315
Floor Press-140

Also, I am running CBL which has been great for cutting. I need to work on getting more protein in, also.

Deadlifting later…

Deadlift-
205 x5
235 x5

Then I did about 6 sets for abs. I have been sick all this week and the lifting isn’t helping.

OHP-
70 x5
80 x5
95 x5

Some good honest work happening here.

Keep on going! Would like to see the results of your cut. You sound like a big MOFO.

Haha, well I was at 245, the weight was amazing for strength purposes and my lifts shot up. But I couldn’t keep it cause I didn’t like my look at all. I will post some pics eventually, I am still trying to get rid of this last little fat around my stomach. It won’t seem to budge. I have a weird body type especially for a 6’6" guy. I still can’t see my abs so I am starting to train them more. I am sitting at like 220 and once I get to the leanness I want, I will start focusing on strength again and staying lean. Thanks for stopping by again.

Edit: I just realized I repeated myself and pretty much said the same thing from a few posts back…

This might be a stupid question, but as you are doing 5/3/1, why are you not trying to push out extra reps on your last set?

Not a stupid question at all… I just don’t do it. I usually do the BBB assistance so Wendler says it is optional to go for extra reps when using that assistance template.

Some fasted basketball around 12…

Fasted cardio tomorrow morning.

New Program, somewhat resembles 5/3/1.

Here are the numbers I’ll be using for the %s…
Squat- 250
Deadlift-350
OHP-110
Floor Press-150

All my assistance will be in the rep ranges of 12-15 and I will probably be doing about 2-3 different assistant exercises with each main lift. Lifting days will be T/TR/Sat/Sun.

Off days I will be doing some form of cardio, either basketball or treadmill. Also, I will be doing some arms on those days, as I have said before.

I have an internship this summer which is full time. I should be able to balance all of this.
